It's ok.. really...

Ok

I say things are ok when it's not ok.

I fear finding myself with 10 dollars left
when I come to out of a blank haze in a strip bar
but the stripper looks waifish and needs to eat
so it's ok.

My nerves usually get shot to hell
& that's when I am out
of cigarettes.
So I ask others if I can
bum theirs then ask again.
It's ok because they usually want
to be my friend though I
don't know why but that's ok.

I get really bummed out when
I come home to my girlfriend
in bed with another girl & she
won't let me touch her but
she loves me that much
so it's ok. It's all cool.

The net makes it
so damn easy for me to be rejected
because my brain stop being active
& I can't find the right words.
It's all probably for the best
so it's ok.

It sucks to wake up alone
to that cold ceiling above me
& a cold can of Coke when I prefer coffee
but I'm saving my change for cigarettes
so it's ok.

My parents raise me to be nice
like that time my dad wouldn't
sue the cop that broke his ribs
just because he's reaching for
his wallet on the table.
"The cops were doing their job," he said
"so it's ok."

God grant me the serenity
to say it is total bullshit
when everything starts turning to shit
because it's not ok
when it's not ok.

Numb. Frozen. Emotion restrained. That is what these words are like. They create images the reader can't touch, but can see. It's elegant. I liked it.

God, dwim... I thought I had replied to this already. Dwim, this poem touched me so much when I first read it. And just now it did it again. I know sooooo many people like that...oh wait, we're all like that! Sometimes... I loved this, and the universiality of it. Keep up the good work!
